What Owners Say
"don't receive messenger on display try different setting but the problem is not resolved"
Anonymous, QC (2023 Subaru Ascent Touring 2.4-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Apple CarPlay intermittently fails to pair and intermittently drops connection. Typically occurs every few hours. Not resolved."
Anonymous A., MD (2023 Subaru Ascent Touring 2.4-L 4 Cyl turbo)""If you subscribe to SiriusXM radio you get continuous and excessive weather alerts whenever youre close to a storm on the display screen that you have to divert your attention from the road to click to close, sometimes at the rate of one every couple seconds. The infotainment system including Apple CarPlay become completely unusable. This, combined with the stabilization and driving assistance systems always deactivating with any rain makes this an extremely disappointing vehicle for driving in inclement weather, which I was under the impression was supposed to be one of Subarus areas of strength. Needless to say, this is my first and last Subaru, and I am puzzled by CRs typically enthusiastic reviews of the carmaker.""

"When placing or receiving calls the other person can't hear you even though you can hear them. Been told there is an update which addresses this to be applied next week when I take it in. It works fine if you just connect with Bluetooth and not Apple Car Play"
